I arrived here yesterday, having been detained by strong southerly winds,• and shdUld have sailed.for Cerigo, to assist-in the reduCtion of. that island this morning, had I not received the accompanying - dis patch born' Capt.

Cerigo has long been a nest of privateers of the worst description, whose piracies have been directed against the trade of ail nations, and, trout its situ,i lion,' of, singUlar annoyance to ours. 'And I cannot conclude these details without observing, that though the resistance has every where been inconsiderable to what might have been expected . from local and other advan;ages the enemy possessed, .yet the zeal, _ aOivity, and perfett harmony that has existed in both services, was equal to surmount I.viunever could tern Opposed to, us.

In my last account from "Zantel etc pressed a hope that we might be able.ta reduce the Island of Cerigo . Without any farther reinforcement. - This idea WaS strengthened by papers ,and. plans found upon the late Governor oh the Island, made pri,ouer at Zante. Major Clarke and myself decided upon making our . first attack upon the forts in the, harbOar of "Avlemz Malt), In order: to .prevent. the escape ot any vessels which might be there. The Forts are those of, St. Nicholas and St. ,Imiquin. The first _is :a stone , building mounting nine .guns ; the latter.26:embra awe:battery of tour guns. At tour P. M. on the 9th inst, we ran into the Bay. The forts opened upon us, but were both silenced in a few minutes by the ship and schooner, .whilst the troops.under 'l\ilt . jor Clarke, lauding, made several prisoners.— The -enemy had one .killed and one wounded upon , this occasion. Only one man of the thirty-filth was wounded ,on our side. At day-light on the loth we. weighed with the in:ent'oo of -immediately attacking the Castle of Caps, , ,l in the Bay of Cerigo, but variAile, winds pre , rented our getting round. At two , P.M. the' troops and marines Were landed in a small, cove in the bay of St. Nicholas, and marched forwards towards the castle, one watch of the Spartan following with three small field-pieces. Ilanded with the troops that I /night be 132Wvd by 4igpai to command the resources of the shipwithout the delay of sending messages,fore seeing that she co 4 ld not be brought to at against the castle txhilst the wind continued southerly. The natureof the country- rendered our approach to the cal' le extremely difficult, parlicularly for the guns, which .did not arrOve till ten 'o'clock on the eleventh 10,4, at the Position the troops Occupied, a height on a level with the castle, within four hundred yards of if. A fire commenced on both sides with guns and mesketry, Which continued the -greatest part of the ; day. In the eveniqg some rockets were landed from the ship, and in the course of the night some of them tl,row nat the citadel. At day-light I ordered two t welve-pontiders to tae landed from the ship, but be fore they c9uld be disembalked a flag of truce came out with an offer of surrendering, provided the - garrison y.oss allowed to return to Cortn. This we ietnsed ; 'and after some deliberation it surrendered 41../ the.s3o-re terms as those of Zante aid Cephalo ' ni;t. 'At ten o'Clooc. our troops took. ,possession of the castle. L is to the zeal r!nd abili!v . of Major :ittd ju,licinus anangements hich he made of the. forces under his cOrnm.tod, th't "the ,reqy (ion of this - wrong post may be attributed. The enemy we;•e cnt off from any prospect of e scape.:Q . r relief, and werecotivincd that out means of offence, were hourly increasing: I cannot speck too highly. of the condua of the officers and men of both services, as well in respeA to the cheerful perseverance under fatigue, as to their, gallantry when oppo.:ed to the enemy. I am happy to say our loss has been much less than irsight have been . ex'petted. Otte bombardier of the iipyal artillery 16114; two privates of the 35 t b regi ment:wounded.
